Ahead of the 2025/26 Sky Bet League Two season, we are taking a look at the other 23 teams that make up the division.
We are continuing with Bromley:

MANAGER
Andy Woodman is heading into his fifth full season as Bromley’s manager and looks to continue his fantastic run with the club. The former goalkeeper guided the Ravens to an FA Trophy win in 2022. He also guided Bromley to the promotion to the Football League, via the play-offs, alongside Chesterfield in 2023/24.

KEY PLAYER
Usurpingly Michael Cheek was Bromley’s key player for their debut season in the EFL. It was also the striker’s first year in League Two, which proved to be a highly successful one. Cheek ended the campaign as the division’s top goalscorer and also won the 2024/25 League Two Player of the Season.
Last season in numbers:
Appearances – 49
Goals – 26
Assists – 8
Yellow Cards – 8
Red Cards – 0
Minutes Played – 4,077
PLAYED FOR BOTH
Grant Smith joined Chesterfield in January 2021, around three months after leaving then-fellow National League club Wealdstone. Despite his stay in North Derbyshire not being a long one, the goalkeeper continuously put in some impressive performance to help the Blues to the play-offs. He left the club at the end of the 2020/21 season.
In 2023, Smith left Yeovil Town following the expiry of his contract to join Bromley. The 31-year-old quickly became a fan favourite for Andy Woodman’s side. He saved two penalties in Bromley’s National League play-off final victory against Solihull Moors and impressed afterwards on his return to the EFL.
